Our Son will turn 5 in July. We've been struggling with his behavior and mood swings since he was 2.5. He was kicked out of preschools, we've seen therapists, psychiatrist, and allergist. He's now on a restricted diet as that seems to reduce the episodes but he's still very active, and impulsive. The psychiatrist suggested that if he continues to display this behavior at 7 or 8 then it's likely ADHD. In the mean time he's supposed to start kindergarten in the fall and I'm very concerned. Any suggestions on what, if anything we should do prior to his first day at school?

Thanks!

Do they not put children that young on medication? Have you looked into specialty schools?

I suggest getting psychoeducational evalutation done by a child psychologist. Then from there he may be able to qualify for a 504 or an IEP to help him learn and help with his behavior.
